Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, Rosi’s Le mani sulla città is one of the finest political dramas ever made – a ferocious, invigorating exploration of civic corruption in post-war Naples with the intensity of the best Hollywood thrillers. At the centre is Edoardo Nottola (Rod Steiger), a wealthy land developer and council member of the government’s ruling party, who is determined to keep his personal and professional interests as intertwined as possible.
